problems with elastic

[jujarven]

Hello,

FIrst of all, thanks for putting effort on Elastic. It has good ideas
which I like and simplicity is never a bad thing.

However, I don't seem to get elastic to work properly. I.e. the
examples in your homepage documentation, if I use them at blank doc
and test with IE8, they don't work at all. In chrome they work fine
mostly, and also on Safari. I started to also wonder, what I am doing
wrong, for example, do you see some error on this code:

<div class="unit on-4 columns">
<div class="container same-height" style="width:960px;">
<div class="fixed column" style="width:240px;">
<div class="txt4">first column first column first column first
column first column first column first column first column</div>
</div>
<div class="fixed column" style="width:240px;">
<div class="txt4">second column second column second column second
column second column second column second column</div>
</div>
<div class="fixed column" style="width:240px;">
<div class="txt4">third third third third third third third third
third third third third third third third third third </div>
</div>
<div class="fixed column" style="width:240px;" >
<div class="txt4">4th very long text here 4th very long text here
4th very long text here 4th very long text here 4th very long text
here 4th very long text here 4th very long text here 4th very long
text here 4th very long text here 4th very long text here 4th very
long text here 4th very long text here</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

It does display 4 columns with correct width, and also applying the
nested elements (only padding in class .txt4), but same-height does
not apply --> if I use background colour columns are not the same
height.

Where I am doing the mistake? Header should be fine, it has jQuery and
all three elastic related files loaded. Latest version of elastic
2.0.1 and 1.3.2 of jQuery.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jujarven,

Your code is fine, the thing with same-height is that it will give the
same height but just to its childs.

For example, in your case the direct childs of the same-height are all
the fixed column inside the container. I'm supposing that you are
using the background-color in the <div class="txt4">, so you can try
adding a full-height helper like this --> <div class="txt4 full-
height">. This will force the div to have the same height of it's
parent.

That of course is one approach, you can also get rid of the <div
class="txt4">, apply the bg-color to the fixed column (just remember
you can't add paddings, margins or borders to columns, that's why -
containers- exists.)

Hope this can help you.
Thanks for using Elasticss.

Hi Javier,

I tried, and both your helpful comments worked.

I decided to use full-height solution. Is there some drawback using it
compared to applying background color directly to fixed column?

1000 * thanks to you for help - and really quick help!

P.S. I notified why your homepage examples didn't work on my IE8. For
some reason, the download link in your homepage gave me version 2.0 of
the framework. SO I downloaded the 2.0.1 and now the examples started
to work.

Hi Jujarven,

Also I encourage you to use a container after a column for example
<div class="column fixed" style="width:200px;">
<div class="container txt4 full-height">
....
</div>
</div>

where txt4 is the class with the style-skin of the container.

Also if you're using just fixed columns you don't need to specify
"on-4" since Elastic will not do any column width calculation, same
goes for unit, you don't need that since Elastic knows that a
"columns" class is a unit also.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
